So this match is on TSN2, dissapointing they won't out it on one of their main channels. They would rather put oklahoma city thunder.

Mavinga’s still in Toronto
Jozy down at training today in Mexico.

Is that an Atlas player? I guess the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
All 22 Chivas players posted to twitter complaints yesterday about not getting bonuses. Big story down there.

Agree. How are you helping grow this if only select people get the channel. Very stupid.Quote:

So there's already 1 month lost...
Wow that's crazy. Here's an English article about this:Quote:

That's good news, but probably more for the season at this point. I just can't see him coming into a final with his lack of match sharpness. At best if we're in need of goals at 60 minutes +.Quote:

Hope I am wrong.
They're training at Atlas training ground according to one of the tfc videos. Maybe they can provide some inside knowledge on chivas as well for us if they really hate them.Quote:

^^Might be motivated to win Wednesday's game and the CONCACAF title, then tell team officials to stick it where the sun don't shine. TFC need to be prepared for this one.

Huge extra motivation for the Chivas players.
That's the interpretation I had too, it's an "us v them" situation. Herc was thinking Chivas players might be distracted with all of it, but I can't buy it.
I don’t know if it's a bad thing overall, but I disagree with the consensus above - this bonus fight is not obviously a good thing for them.
Us against the world is good. Distraction is bad. Feeling that your good work is making others unfairly rich, is bad.
Lol the cheapest ticket is $50 canadian! (vs $5 Cad at azteca) they're stealing from the people of Jalisco to pay the greedy players!

Athletes find motivation in many different ways. Wayne Gretzky used a column written by Star hockey scribe Bob McKenzie, saying he was finished, to play his best hockey in leading the Kings over the Leafs in the 1993 Stanley Cup semi finals. Michael Jordan used getting looked over as NBA MVP for Karl Malone to spearhead his Bulls past Malone's Jazz in the NBA Finals.Quote:

I still say its a motivating factor for them that TFC need to be prepared for if they are to capture the CONCACAF title.
I agree. From what I understand, chivas will do everything for the title and then possibly protest afterwards (not playing for wins).Quote:

Regardless of the Chivas situation, the boys cannot get side tracked from the plan. They must be prepared for a 90 minute war on Wednesday night. The mission is scoring, everything else is just noise at this point.
its close to impossible for us to win CCL now 2nd isnt bad, but we havent won in Mexico for the whole tournament, just hope no more injuries play your best always, and lets focus on the season now
Not sure what this means, makes me think it can't be good if he has missed training the last few days. Justin Morrow boarded a plane for Mexico this morning.
